Aid Amanda Velez's Long Road to Recovery

On Tuesday, August 20, 2024, at approximately 5:56 pm, the NC State Highway Patrol, Robeson County Sheriff’s Office staff, county EMS Paramedics, Raynham Fire Department personnel, Lumberton Rescue & EMS personnel, and Airlife 2 responded to the intersection of Hilly Branch Road and S J Rd., outside of Lumberton in reference to a traffic collision involving a motorcycle and a vehicle. Upon arrival, Deputy Amanda Velez, operator of the motorcycle, was found suffering from critical injuries. Deputy Velez was transported by Airlife 2 to an undisclosed medical center for treatment.

Anything will help as she has a long road of recovery ahead of her, and much travel and time off from work is required for her support system as well at this time.
